As he said this, the Great Elder had already charged forward, closing the distance to Ren Tianqi.
At that very moment, Ren Tianqi abruptly unsheathed his sword and slashed.
Boom!
A dazzling, blinding beam of sword light surged forth, splitting the heavens and shattering the earth.
Everyone only felt their vision flash white, followed by a chilling sensation sweeping over them, as if the icy Sword Intent had shorn every strand of their hair clean off.
Such piercing Sword Intent naturally shook everyone to the core.
When the brilliance faded, the crowd looked up again to find the Great Elder standing motionless in place, a thin line of blood streaking down his forehead, running straight through his entire body.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the Great Elder’s body split apart entirely, cleaved in two.
Blood sprayed everywhere, and he perished just like that.
The crowd stared dumbfounded, struggling to accept the horrifying scene before them.
Ren Tianqi’s face, however, lit up with fervor. He reverently wrapped the sword and slung it behind his back, then swept his gaze across the room and coldly declared,
"Now tell me—are you willing to serve me as your master?"
The Ren Family members exchanged uneasy glances, seeing unmistakable fear in each other’s eyes.
After a brief silence, someone stepped forward hesitantly, bowed deeply, and knelt to the ground, "I am willing!"
Once someone took the lead, others quickly followed suit, rushing forward one by one to pledge their allegiance.
In the end, every member of the Ren Family knelt. Ren Tianqi looked at them, then finally nodded.
"Very good! From now on, I shall lead the Ren Family!"
Not long after.
Word spread like wildfire that Ren Tianqi had single-handedly returned to the Ren Family, slain the Great Elder with one stroke, and successfully reclaimed leadership.
"Whoa! How does Ren Tianqi possess such terrifying swordsmanship?"
"No need to ask; it must’ve been given to him by someone powerful backing him!"
"Who is this person, and what does he want?"
"No one knows, because everyone who witnessed that scene is already dead!"
Amidst these shocked whispers,
Luo Jian’s side was equally unyielding. He too, armed with only a single sword, managed to overthrow the Pan Family, Mo Family, and several other noble families in just one day.
No matter the defenses their opponents set up or the reclusive, elite masters they brought out, none proved a match for Luo Jian’s blade.
Once the strong were eliminated, the remaining stragglers were far easier to deal with.
Thus, Luo Jian’s forces grew larger and larger, much like a snowball gaining momentum.
Faced with this, Ren Tianqi refused to be outdone. After brutally purging the Ren Family of malevolent scoundrels, he immediately began his campaign to conquer the surrounding regions.
This time, he learned from past mistakes, wasting no words.
If someone refused to obey, he responded with a single strike of his sword.
Thus, he quickly gained traction, even surpassing Luo Jian in momentum.
The ghost realm’s deep-rooted noble families were plunged into chaos, caught in the bloody storm stirred up by these two men.
Under such circumstances, the very factions that had once arrogantly ridiculed and furiously proclaimed their refusal to surrender began reconsidering their options.
Of course.
